By Strauss

By Strauss - Ella Fitzgerald

Away with the music of broadway

Be off with your irving berlin

Oh I give no quarter to kern or cole porter

And gershwin keeps pounding on tin

How can I be civil when hearing this drivel

It's only for nightclubbin souses

Oh give me the free n easy

Waltz that is vienneasy and

Go tell the band if they want a hand

The waltz must be strausss

Ya ya ya give me oom-pa-pah

When I want a melody

Lilting through the house

Then I want a melody

By strauss

It laughs it sings the world is in rhyme

Swinging to three-quarter time

Let the danube flow along

And the fledermauss

Keep the wine and give me song

By strauss

By jove by jing by strauss is the thing

So I say to ha-cha-cha heraus

Just give me your oom-pa-pah by strauss

Let the danube flow along

And the fledermauss

Keep the wine and give me song

By strauss

By jove by jing by strauss is the thing

So I say to ha-cha-cha heraus

Just give me your oom-pa-pah

By strauss
